IN TWO MINDS: STORIES OF MURDER, JUSTICE AND RECOVERY FROM A FORENSIC MIND

Dr Sohom Das, Forensic Psychiatrist, NHS Doctor and YouTuber

As a forensic psychiatrist, it's Dr Sohom Das's job to treat and rehabilitate what the tabloids might call 'the criminally insane', many of whom assault, rob, rape and even kill.

In this talk, Dr Sohom Das offers an often shocking but fascinating insight into the true stories of patients and cases during his career as an NHS Doctor treating mentally disordered offenders.

His work takes him to high-security prisons, securely locked hospital wards and inside courtrooms across the country as he delves into the minds of violent offenders in a bid to understand their actions and prevent shocking future crimes.
